Literature

Hey Beehaw (and others)! Whatcha reading?

Anyone else have a book (or books) that they want to read but just never seem to actually get around to reading? Any books you feel like you ought to read but never do?...

Do you reread books or are you done with them once you’ve read them?...

It doesn’t have to be famous, just a work that you connect with that you feel represents your country in some way.

Read any of these yet? How were they? Anything catch your eye to add to your TBR list?...

I believe there are some BookWyrm users here, that’s why I’m trying to (mis)use this community as a support forum....

Hi! Anyone read any good nonfiction lately that they’d recommend? I’m between holds in my library queue rn and need a fix.

I’m still on Goodreads but it’s so slow, the app’s just an even slower webview of the site and the redesign has made me have to click more to do what I want....

Myself personally I get most of my reading done on my 45 minute commute to work on the bus/train. I also enjoy reading in the mornings on weekends and occasionally in the evening on weekdays....

Some examples would be the hobbit and a wrinkle in time

I started reading his works late last year, and I’ve had a hard time putting them down. I’ve finished his 5 major works and have read a few of his lesser known stories....

Just thought I’d throw it out there. You can import your Goodreads (or Storygraph or other) history as well....

My second read-through now and I’m loving them even more this time!...

Hey Beehaw, whatcha reading right now?

Огляд коміксу «Одна весна в Чорнобилі» від Емманюеля Лепажа. Історія про Чорнобильську атомну катастрофу очима європейців. "Таємна кімната" - про комікси та мальописи українською.

I reported it as not working a day or two ago. They last updated it in 2021 or before but their support claims it’s still working. I stream using a single screen and so far I’ve been using the Steam overlay browser with some transparency but I’d like to be able to view chat without background with the text having borders...

Think robots, AIs, hell even nanites or even a spaceship! Do you guys have any sci fi recommendations in this vein?

I want to hear about your favorite books that include heists as a major element. Bonus points if it’s set in a fantasy, sci-fi, or non-contemporary setting. (Basically I want something like Gentleman Bastards that’s not just rereading Gentleman Bastards)

I’m dragging myself through an “award-winning” “best-selling” “recommended” book I got from the library and wishing I hadn’t. (Yes I know those phrases mean little and I can stop, though I’m nearing the end after hoping it would stop being so hopeless. Yes I can be naively optimistic ;) .) The characters and...
